Default Re: Dishwasher Hose Replacement

This is a heartening thread. I hope I've just finished the latest battle with my 17 yr old washing machine - multiple simultaneous problems (it needed motor brushes, a door micro-switch and the small coins blocking the pump diagnosing and removing) really did my head in. I couldn't get down to the micro-switch on the door, but undoing it and doing it up again seems to have disturbed it enough that it thinks the door is securely shut, for the time being!

Last time the pump made a terrible noise I bought a new one from one of the suppliers listed up-thread, only to find a lolly stick rattling on the impeller in the old (undamaged) one. Not the first time I've bought spares 'to be prepared', as it turns out needlessly, before pulling something apart.

Kitchen floor ended up a lot cleaner, anyway, with all that soapy water floating about.
